Myreader
Myreader is a web-based AI reading assistant. Upload your own books, PDFs, EPUBs, Word files, articles or YouTube videos, then question them in plain language and get answers carrying clickable page-exact citations, plus text-to-speech playback.
What is Myreader?
Myreader is a web application, published by Myreader Inc., that turns the documents you already own into something you can question. You build a personal library by uploading files, then ask questions in ordinary language instead of hunting through pages. The accepted formats are deliberately broad: PDF, EPUB, Kindle books in .azw, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, plus links to web articles and YouTube videos.
The product rests on three claims made on its home page: chat with your library, listen on the go, and read what you need. A question can be aimed at a single book, at a themed collection, or at the whole library at once, and the use-case pages insist there is no cap on how many sources one question may search.
What distinguishes it is the citation behaviour. Every answer carries in-line references that open the source at the exact page, and the site demonstrates this rather than merely asserting it. A medical example compares first-line treatments for bipolar depression across Kaplan and Sadock at page 412, the Maudsley Guidelines at page 288 and a set of week-9 lecture slides. An engineering example answers a working-clearance question by citing NEC 2023 table 110.26(A)(1) at page 70 alongside state amendments at page 12.
A speech engine converts any text into audio in more than 50 voices and 30 languages. OCR makes scanned documents and older editions searchable, though it sits behind the paid tiers, as does bulk upload. Books can be filed into themed collections and reached from any device, sixteen document languages are supported, and they may coexist in one library. The Pro tier allows up to 15,000 pages a month.
Six use-case pages cover medicine and nursing, law and bar preparation, MBA and executive education, academic research, seminary and theology, and technical codes and standards. A public library of public-domain classics is already queryable without uploading anything. The site claims more than 100,000 students and professionals. It is web-only: no mobile app, no browser extension, no public API.

When to use Myreader / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Myreader is the right fit.
When to use Myreader
- Medical and nursing students juggling textbooks, lecture slides and clinical guidelines that all answer the same question slightly differently
- Law students and bar candidates who need the exact page behind every rule they quote
- Researchers and academics interrogating a stack of papers instead of re-reading each one
- Seminary students, pastors and theology scholars preparing sermons or papers from commentaries they already own
- Engineers, electricians and compliance professionals working daily against codes, standards and state amendments
When not to use Myreader
- Teams wanting to embed document question-answering into their own product: Myreader publishes no API
- Anyone who needs a mobile app: the tool runs in the browser only, with nothing on the App Store or Google Play
- Organisations handling confidential or regulated documents, since the privacy policy claims the right to train on user data with no documented way to opt out
- European buyers who need a procurement file: no GDPR framework, no DPA and no named hosting location are published
- Readers who only want to sample the tool occasionally, as the free plan allows five questions a month and deletes uploaded books after seven days of inactivity

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Myreader handles your data.
GDPR overview
There is no GDPR framework published on this site. Across the twelve pages collected, in visible text as well as in the archived HTML, the words GDPR and General Data Protection Regulation appear exactly zero times. No Article 27 representative is designated, no data protection officer is named, no Data Processing Agreement is offered, and no hosting country or region is disclosed. This is silence rather than a refusal: the policy opens by saying the company respects your privacy and complies with any applicable law and regulation, and it does describe access, correction, non-discrimination and complaint rights, including the right to contact a data protection authority. But those rights are set out generically, tied to no legal text. The stated minimum age of 13 matches the US COPPA threshold, not a GDPR one.
Who owns the data?
Myreader Inc. states that uploaded documents stay private to each account, are never shared between users, and can be deleted at any time. Its terms claim intellectual property only over the website's own materials, and say nothing about ownership of the files you upload, so no transfer of rights is asserted. Personal data may nonetheless be disclosed to affiliates, service providers, contractors, business partners, courts and regulators, and three subprocessors are named: Google Analytics, Twilio Sendgrid and Stripe. One clause deserves attention: should the company be acquired or go bankrupt, personal data would pass to the acquirer among the transferred assets.
Reuse rights
The terms grant users a licence, not a transfer of title, over the website's own materials: you may download one copy for personal, non-commercial use, and copying, modifying, reverse-engineering, mirroring or redistributing them is prohibited. The licence ends automatically if those restrictions are breached. Nothing in the published documents restricts what you do with the documents you upload yourself or with the answers Myreader returns about them, and the site treats your library as yours to delete at will. In the other direction, the privacy policy reserves a broad right for Myreader Inc.: queries, answers, interaction data and preferences may be used to train and improve its machine learning models, and no opt-out is documented.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Very little is disclosed. The only statement published is that data sits in secure cloud storage, with no country, region or hosting provider named anywhere on the site. The company adds that documents remain private to each account, are never shared between users, and can be deleted at any time. Three subprocessors are disclosed by name in the privacy policy: Google Analytics, Twilio Sendgrid and Stripe. No Data Processing Agreement is offered, no Article 27 representative is designated, and the GDPR is never mentioned, so a user cannot establish which jurisdiction governs the storage of their files. The terms place the contract itself under the law of California, which indicates the governing jurisdiction of the agreement rather than the location of the data. Anyone with a residency requirement should treat this as unresolved and ask the publisher directly before uploading.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Myreader.
- Your uploads may feed the vendor's models: the privacy policy claims that right over queries, answers and interaction data, and no opt-out is documented, so sensitive material should stay out of the library
- A confident answer with a page number still needs opening: the citation proves where a claim came from, not that the model read it correctly, and the habit of clicking through is the whole safeguard
- Outsourcing the reading can quietly erode the skill of doing it: asking a textbook for a summary is not the same cognitive act as working through the chapter, and the difference shows in an exam room
- In law, medicine and compliance, an answer drawn from your own uploads can still miss an amendment or a newer edition you never uploaded; absence from the library reads as absence from the world
- No named hosting country, no DPA and no GDPR framework mean a European or regulated user cannot document where their documents live
- On the free plan, books vanish after seven days of inactivity, which can surprise anyone treating the library as storage
- If the company is acquired or fails, the privacy policy states that personal data would transfer to the acquirer among the assets
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low. There is nothing to install, no API key and no connector to configure: you create an account in the browser, upload a document and ask a question. The only genuine friction is Kindle books, which must have their DRM removed on your own device before uploading, using an external guide the site links to. Scanned documents are handled automatically by OCR, though only on paid tiers. Anyone wanting to see the behaviour first can query the public library of classics without uploading anything.

Should you pick Myreader?
Myreader does what it says on the page, which is less common than it should be. The pricing is public and detailed down to the quota, six use-case pages each show a real answer with its citations, and a public library of classics lets anyone test the behaviour before uploading a single file. The page-exact citation is the genuine differentiator: it makes verification part of the product rather than a task left to the reader, and that matters most precisely where the tool is aimed, at students, researchers, clergy and compliance professionals who must be able to point at a source.
The reservations lie almost entirely on the governance side, and one is substantial. The privacy policy openly reserves the right to use queries, answers and interaction data to train the company's models, and documents no way to opt out. Alongside that, the site says nothing at all about the GDPR, publishes no Data Processing Agreement, names no hosting country, and gives no postal address or legal notice page. The terms date from April 2024 and the privacy policy from July 2023. A single generic address handles support, legal and privacy questions alike.
The practical reading follows from that split. For public or study material you already own, at 6 USD a month, the value is easy to see and the free tier costs nothing to test. For confidential, client-privileged or regulated documents, the published terms do not currently support that use, and the missing pieces would need to be obtained from the publisher before committing. Guidaio has verified the facts above against the site itself; what it cannot verify, including the claim of more than 100,000 users, is flagged as such.
